J'imagine que oui, surement dans un magazine ou une émission télé... Mais avez vous déjà vu un virus...informatique ? Alex Dragulescu a généré des représentations 3D de malwares connus (virus, vers, trojans et spyware) qui sont tout bonnement hallucinantes. Et c'est tout simplement fascinant !

gource - Project Hosting on Google Code Gource is a software version control visualization tool. See more of Gource in action on the Videos page.

Original: c’est beau un virus informatique ! | Toc-Arts.blog Alex Dragulescu du MIT Media Lab a utilisé un algorithme pour trouver des profils récurrents dans le code source de virus informatiques et autres logiciels malicieux, puis il a ensuite passé le résultat dans un algorithme de visualisation et simplement ajouté des couleurs artificielles et des effets de lumière pour visualiser la structure de ces virus.

Visualising Subversion with Gource Over the weekend I stumbled across a video link, released (I assume) by Flickr. The video is a visualisation of the last 7 years of commits into the Flickr Subversion repository. Wow, there’s a lot of work been done to Flickr over the past 7 years! What’s even more interesting is you can easily create the same type of visualisation with your own project using an open-source project called Gource. Gource is a version control visualisation tool developed by Andrew Caudwell. The videos produced by Gource really illustrate how much work goes into projects over time, with each developer ‘shooting a laser’ at each file created / changed / deleted. Creating the videos is fairly simple, I’ll give you a step by step guide how to do it using an SVN repository below. First you will want to grab a copy of Gource and extract the zip file to somewhere easily accessible. Next you need to export the SVN repository log file to an XML document. Great! Saving the video As simple as that!

logstalgia - Project Hosting on Google Code Logstalgia (aka ApachePong) is a website access log visualization tool. Description Logstalgia is a website traffic visualization that replays or streams web-server access logs as a pong-like battle between the web server and an never ending torrent of requests. Requests appear as colored balls (the same color as the host) which travel across the screen to arrive at the requested location. The paths of requests are summarized within the available space by identifying common path prefixes. Requirements Logstalgia requires a video card supporting OpenGL. As Logstalgia is designed to playback logs in real time you will need a log from a fairly busy web-server to achieve interesting results (eg 100s of requests each minute). An example access log is included. Supported Log Formats Logstalgia supports several standardized access.log formats used by web servers such as Apache and Nginx: NCSA Common Log Format (CLF) "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" 1371769989|127.0.0.1|/index.html|200|1024|1|00FF00 Controls
